social outcast

Ch.4

     the text was from Chris.

can we meet up somewhere? you left school and I want to know if you're ok

     I was happy he cared about me. I responded saying:

sure. meet me in the park in 5

    when I got there he was already on a bench waiting. he looked so cute and innocent just sitting there in the cold with his coat and beanie on. I approached him and sat directly next to him.

     "hello." he said.

     "hi." I responded.

     "are you doing ok?"

     "Yeah I took a shower and a nap to sort of forget everything."

     " did it work?"

     " no. .. my mom texted saying she was at jail trying to bail out my dad."

     "oh my gosh!!!!" he said shocked." what did he do???"

     "DUY."

     "that sucks major ass."

     "I know."

     " is it alright if I eat at your place? I'm running low on food and I want to spend time with you."

     I was surprised he asked. I accepted anyway and gladly let him come over. we walked back to my place. he started to hold my hand when we were almost home. I was so embarrassed so I got this goofy grin on my face. we didn't talk, just hold hands and smile the whole way home. sometimes I think the best way to bond is to not speak but just we with that person and have a connection.

         when we got into the apartment my mother was there... without my father.

     "whose this?" she asked.

     " he's my good friend from school named Christopher." I responded.

     "well hello christopher!" my mom said with a huge smile on her face and so proud that I have actually made a friend.

     " chris." he said as he reached.out his hand for a shake.

    " OkAy Chris, and what brings you here?" my mother asked.

    " I was wondering if I could stay and eat then get to know your gorgeous daughter."

      what the heck. Chris just called ME gorgeous. what is this. I don't even know what life is anymore. no one's ever called me that, let alone pretty or attractive. not even my parents.

     I couldn't help but start blushing.

     we ate insta noodles. how fancy right? me and Chris then headed to my room.
